We have developed guidelines for parcellation of the prefrontal sub-divisions based on sulcal-gyral anatomical patterns in the region, as well as cytoarchitectonic features of the sub-regions of the PFC. Variations in the application of these guidelines in different subjects to account for normal sulcal variability were also developed.​John, J.P., Wang, L., Moffitt, A.J., Singh, H.K., Gado, M.H., Csernansky, J.G., 2006.
